These plots are tended by the Botanists' Guild. A splendid sight, is it not?
Small Talk/What do you do here?:
My name is Fufucha, and i have the pleasure of overseeing the good works of the Botanists' Guild. It is my duty to nurture the budding botanists of our guild, that they might in turn nurture the life that flourishes here in the Twelveswood. The land whence i hail is a barren place, you see, and ever has it been my dream to live and work amidst such verbant abundance. Like plants, dreams require nurturing. Tend yours well, and they will one day bear fruit.
Small Talk/What is botany?:
Man owes both his life and livelihood to nature. Without her bounty, man would have neither food to fill his belly, clothes to keep him warm, nor arms to protect him from harm. There exist a number of disciplines through which man avails himself of nature's bounty. Botany is one of them. In botany, one acquires the knowledge needed to receive the gift of plant life. At the same time, one learns to understand nature, and accord her the respect she is due. Here at the botanists' Guild, those who walk our path gather to hone their skills while striving for greater intimacy with the forest.

Biography
A rarity in Gridania, Fufucha Fucha is one of few DunesfolkLalafell who call the sylvan city-state home. Though born in Thanalan, an Amalj'aa raid forced her from the deserts as a child. Her family found salvation in the Black Shroud, and it is widely believed that she aspired to become master of the Botanists' Guild in order to protect the forest, and repay the goodwill of the forestborn who welcomed her so many summers ago. A hoary sentinel amongst the green saplings she calls her students, Fufucha's youthful countenance belies her forty and four years.
